    I am using rsync to recursively sync a remote folder tree that looks something like the following: /folderA/a1/cache /folderA/a1/cache/A1 /folderA/a1/cache/A2 /folderA/a1/somefolder /folderA/a1/someotherfolder /folderA/a2/somefolder/cache /folderB/cache/ /folderB/b1/somefolder/cache /folderB/b1/somefolder/yetanotherfolder/cache /folderB/b1/somefolder/yetanotherfolder/cache/B1 /folderB/b1/somefolder/yetanotherfolder/cache/B2 I don't know what the folder tree will look like and it will change over time. So what I want to be able to do is recursively rsync the above but exclude the folder "cache" and any sub folders it contains so that I ultimately end up syncing: /folderA/a1 /folderA/a1/somefolder /folderA/a1/someotherfolder /folderA/a2/somefolder /folderB/ /folderB/b1/somefolder /folderB/b1/somefolder/yetanotherfolder/ Any suggestions? >> You want the --exclude flag. For example, a local rsync: rsync -a --exclude cache/ src_folder/ target_folder/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5774/rsync-excluding-a-particular-subdirectory-and-its-children-where-the-subdirect
